Chapter 241: Kill him to silence him and eliminate the trouble forever
Taohua shook her head. "The young lady is very lucky. When the doctor came over, he said her pulse was about to stop. But after taking a dose of medicine, the young lady's pulse became smooth and strong again in a short while. She is no longer in any danger."
Taohua added, "Xiaoying said that the snake that bit the young lady was a red snake with a triangular head. Logically, it should be a very poisonous one. But for some reason, the young lady miraculously survived."
So that's how it is. It turns out that Lu Jinye released a poisonous snake for Qiao Yihuan.
Qiao Wanyan was a little disappointed, but only a little.
She had anticipated that Qiao Yihan was protected by the Heaven and would be difficult to get rid of.
But she has suffered enough during this period of time.
The wound on my shoulder was caused by burns from the hot spring water, and now I have another new injury. It's really a disaster.
"Ziyuan, accompany me to Qiyun Hall. I have something to tell father and mother."
The atmosphere in the Qiao family's old house was extremely cold and solemn. Maids were coming in and out of the huge house. The lights in the boudoir of the second young lady of the second room were bright, but there was an eerie chill in the air.
Qiao Chuxue's mouth was blocked and she could only hum softly, but the sound could not be heard inside the house.
I spent most of the day struggling with it, but it still wasn't drained out completely, which was really frustrating.
The second wife, Mrs. Wei, paced back and forth outside the screen in the inner room with a worried look on her face. She watched basin after basin of blood being brought out and listened to the groans coming from inside, feeling anxious.
"Mother, please sit down and wait. There is no point in being anxious."
Wei looked at her and said, "After all, she is your biological sister. Why do you look so indifferent?"
Qiao Chuxia didn't care. "Sister, if you do something so disgraceful, it will bring trouble to the entire Qiao family's female members. It's good enough that I don't go in and scold her. Why does mother want me to worry about her?"
If this gets out, it’s hard to say whether I can marry a good husband in the future.
Wei was so angry that she didn't want to argue with her. "Forget it, forget it. Go away and don't be an eyesore here. By the way, did that slut tell me who the adulterer is?"
Qiao Chuxia shook her head and said leisurely, "He's quite stubborn. He was beaten to death but didn't say a word. My sister has a loyal maid."
Wei sighed heavily. What was going on?
Now we can only know it from Chuxue's mouth.
The person was sent back by Qiao Wanyan, and the eldest branch of the family must have known about it.
What should I do now? How should I explain to the eldest son’s family? How should I explain to the General Zhongwu’s Mansion?
"Madam, the Shangshu and his family are here. The master has gone to pick them up. Should we go over as well?"
Wei's heart skipped a beat, "Go, you have to go!"
If she wasn't there, perhaps those indifferent people and Chuxue's cruel father would have demanded Chuxue's life to settle the matter.
Inside the Tongren Hall in the old house.
Minister Qiao sat on the chair on the left side of the main seat, while Jin sat on the chair on the right side.
Second Housekeeper Qiao Qingren showed a worried look on his face, "Brother, regarding the matter of Chuxue, I don't know why this kid is so bold. It's all thanks to Wanyan. If it weren't for Wanyan's thorough handling of this matter, I'm afraid it would have spread out and ruined the reputation of my Qiao family."
Minister Qiao said in a deep voice: "Where is that maidservant? Did she vomit anything?"
Qiao Qingren shook his head. "That bitch is very tight-lipped. She is almost dying but she still refuses to say a word."
Minister Qiao lowered his eyes, "He is a loyal man who protects his master, but unfortunately he is blindly loyal. Since there is no way to get the answer, there is no need to keep him."
"It's Big Brother."
Minister Qiao added: "Chuxue is too foolish. If she is not careful, the reputation of all the women in the family will be affected. The best way to protect the other women is to drown them in a pond to prevent future troubles. There will be no way to investigate any accidents."
Qiao Qingren was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his eyes to the ground, and seemed to have made a great decision before he gritted his teeth and spoke, "I understand what you mean, brother. I will take care of this matter."
"Qiao Qingren, that's your daughter!" When Wei came in, she heard these words and immediately burst into tears and questioned.
Qiao Qingren frowned, "Chuxia, quickly send your mother back to her room to rest!"
Qiao Chuxia tried to pull the person away, but Wei was so strong that he shook her hand off and pointed his index finger at him, angrily scolding, "Do you have a heart? That's your own flesh and blood, how can you say that?!"
Qiao Wanyan was sipping her tea leisurely while watching the dramatic scene in front of her. After hearing this, she placed the teacup on the table beside her and said with a smile, "Chuxia is also Second Aunt's daughter. Doesn't Second Aunt consider how she will get married in the future?"
Wei was choked for a moment, "But, but Chuxue doesn't deserve to die, there must be a way to solve it!"
Qiao Qingren said: "I don't want to do this either, but Chuxue is not the only daughter in the family. This is the best solution."
"Actually, the situation is not dead yet. Why do Second Uncle and Second Aunt look so worried?" Qiao Wanyan's tone was light, but at this moment it was like a life-saving straw that gave Wei hope.
Minister Qiao and Mrs. Jin had no intention of speaking and just looked at their daughter quietly.
Qiao Congshan teased, "Do you have any other good ideas?"
Women should stay in their boudoirs, including my aunt, mother and sister. Let the men discuss this matter.
Qiao Jibai said calmly: "Sister Wanyan has always been smart, maybe she has thought of a solution that we haven't thought of. Now that we are all together to discuss it, why should we quarrel among ourselves, brother?"
Qiao Congshan glared at him and said, "Don't think you are great just because you are the top scholar now."
Minister Qiao said in a deep voice: "Pull him away."
Someone immediately stepped forward, covered Qiao Congshan's mouth and forcibly took him away.
Qiao Qingren and his wife didn't dare to stop them, so they asked about Qiao Wanyan.
"Qiao Chuxue was able to do such a thing as getting pregnant before getting married. She must have loved the adulterer very much. If Qiao Chuxue could survive, she would definitely go find the adulterer if she was given a chance."
Qiao Wanyan looked calm and composed. "Even if the Qiao family has dealt with everything, if the adulterer spreads rumors or threatens us with this, won't our Qiao family be in danger? There will be no evidence if the person dies. It won't hurt the foundation of the Qiao family, but it will make the Qiao family a joke."
"What's more, don't Second Uncle and Second Aunt want to know what kind of filthy person dared to plot against the Qiao family?"
Qiao Qingren and his wife understood that this was a plan to use the first snow to lure out the adulterer.
Qiao Qingren nodded, "Wan Yan is right, she is right! When I find the adulterer, I will drive his whole family out of the capital and take them to the southern barbarians so that he will never be able to return to the capital and talk nonsense again in this life."
Qiao Wanyan sighed softly, "What nonsense is Second Uncle talking about?"
Qiao Qingren taught earnestly: "Wanyan thinks that Second Uncle is too cruel and heartless? But if you don't drive him out of the capital, it will be a disaster! Girls are soft-hearted and kind, but sometimes being kind to others means being cruel to yourself."
Qiao Wanyan smiled, her smile was as sweet as candied fruit, pure and harmless.
"If you want to cut the grass, you must remove the root of the grass. How can you leave yourself with trouble?"
"Of course we should kill him to silence him and prevent future troubles."
